Rough trail leading to a seclysed campsite. Boats bobbing up and down on the lake.
Crystal clear water.
Searing sunlight.
Smoke and pine sap.
Cool, clean air.
Crackling fire. Yelling and laughter. Hissing and fading voices.
How long will this paradise last? When will I have to leave?
Calmed by the natural beauty. Overjoyed that it lasted. Sad to leave.
Lasting paradise. Lasting paradise. Lasting paradise.
